Help Capra Audio Rebuild After West Virginia Flooding
The headphone community is rallying around Capra Audio’s Brian Hayden and his family after severe flooding in West Virginia.
A community asking people to show up
An appeal shared in r/headphones is asking the headphone community to support Brian Hayden of Capra Audio and his family after severe flooding in West Virginia.
The fundraiser says the family took refuge upstairs before being evacuated by search and rescue, and that they are safe. It also says floodwater damaged the home, vehicles, 3D printers, servers, and much of Capra Audio’s inventory. Insurance coverage and the eventual out-of-pocket costs are not yet known.
Why this matters to the headphone community
Capra Audio is known for comfort-focused headphone straps and open DIY headphone designs. The appeal describes someone whose work has helped many headphone listeners, and whose small business now faces the practical cost of rebuilding both a home and a livelihood.
